Decision Summary
The appeal was summarily dismissed because the petitioner failed to address the director's grounds for denial, namely that the beneficiary did not meet the O-1 criteria for extraordinary ability. Instead of contesting the director's findings, the petitioner argued that the petition should be amended from an O-1 to a P-1 classification, which is not a valid basis for an appeal.
